The Rapids on Crowe River by Doris McCarthy is a 14 x 21.5 inch watercolour on paper that was produced in 2000 and signed in the bottom right corner. It is protected under museum glass.

The painting depicts a fast moving river passing through a quiet forest. Large boulders line the water, their surfaces smooth from its constant flow. Lush foliage surrounds the rocky stream, painted in grey tones complimented by pops of purple and green. McCarthy uses simplified shapes and blocks of colour to depict this tranquil scene, emphasizing light and shadow.

This piece was on display at Wynick/Tuck Gallery and Consignor Canadian Fine Art in Toronto before being added to our collection at Rookleys.
